Speakers' Pool

ÂÜÀòÍøÊÓƵ

Let us connect you! We provide LIS students with the opportunity to have active NMRT and ÂÜÀòÍøÊÓƵmembers speak (virtually or in-person) about involvement in the association and professional development topics. This is a wonderful opportunity for ALA's best and brightest to be ambassadors to the next generation of library leaders and to keep our professional organization viable. Any questions about the Speakers' Pool should be directed to the current chair.
